Abolitionists- and slaveholders- in my family

Carla Prater
Bryan, TX

I recently found out that I have family roots in Texas. A man who rebelled against his father over slave owning and moved here. It is easy to be proud of my descent from a prominent abolitionist in central Texas, but it also means that I am the descendent of slave owners in Alabama.
